Atlanta flooding has killed two people so far, and has forced Gwinnett County schools, as well as those in Douglas, Paulding and Caroll counties to close. Throughout the Atlanta metro area, roads are closed after rainfall of up to 15 inches over the weekend. For Atlanta school closings, check here.

In Douglas County, spokesman Wes Tallon said a man's body had been found downstream from where a car was swept into a creek on North Helton Road.
